From luscious tagine to versatile couscous, and of course, mouthwatering sweets and cakes, Moroccan cuisine regularly wins tourists over.
American model and cook Chrissy Teigen is the latest celebrity tourist to fall for Moroccan food, so much so that she gained 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms) in less than three days.
In one of her latest super relatable tweets, Teigen expressed her love for the Moroccan city of Marrakesh and wrote about her weight gain during her visit.
Teigen was in Morocco last week to feature in a photoshoot for what she described as a “top secret project.”
Naturally, during her visit, she strolled Moroccan street markets, went on a camel ride, and indulged in local cuisine.
She did not shy away from announcing her weight gain
All thanks to her “iron stomach”
Canadian-Filipino actress Shay Mitchell can totally relate
And so can tweeps who have visited the North African country
Really, no surprise there
“An accurate summary of my time in Morocco”
Moroccan food FTW
“The best food”
One simply can’t get enough
Foodie paradise
Grandma + Moroccan food = Hello fat pants!
Future visitors are taking note
“A ‘celebrities; they’re just like us’ moment”
Not the first time Teigen visits Morocco
Back in March 2017, Teigen visited Morocco with her husband, American singer-songwriter John Legend, and their daughter, Luna. The celebrity couple documented the trip on Instagram.
Additionally, the couple celebrated Legend’s birthday in the Arab country in 2015, according to E! News.
Teigen and Legend are definitely not the only celebrities to have vacationed in Morocco. American actor Will Smith, Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo, and British singer Lily Allen are among the stars who have crossed the country off their bucket list.
